Speaking of Qing officials, many people will think of the famous Bao Zheng in history, who is generally known as Bao Qingtian, and to this day we can often see film and television works about Bao Zheng from TV dramas. In film and television works, Bao Zheng is a particularly beloved, a good official who has always been impartial and law-abiding, and does practical things for the people. So, in real history, is Bao Zheng a Qing official in the end? Experts have a new theory after digging up his tomb, and the results are impressive, according to the historical records, when Bao Zheng died, a total of 21 coffins were used, and his body was hidden in these coffins, so many people are guessing where Bao Zheng's burial site is.
After investigation, the relevant departments found that there were traces of Bao Zheng all over the country, some of which were the crown tombs left by Bao Zheng in those years, and some of which were bao gong ancestral halls built for him by posterity in order to commemorate Bao Zheng; later, for some special reasons, the state planned to sort out Bao Zheng's cemetery and open one of the cemeteries. That is to say, the packaging of that year was indeed a very clean person, he did not use his power and position, did something sorry for the people, and later experts excavated other bao cemeteries, and found that there were still no funerary items inside, after several months of research, archaeologists finally dug out 6 epitaphs in the ancient tomb.
These epitaphs have about 30,000 words on them, they recorded Bao Zheng's life and some historical deeds in detail, after seeing these documents, archaeologists concluded that Bao Zheng was a very clean person, he was a good official worthy of praise, so why did he use more than 20 coffins? Experts believe that this may be too many people who have offended Bao Zheng before his death, and he is worried that his body will be destroyed after his death, so he is suspicious and uses this method to carry out secret burial.
From ancient times to the present, there are countless officials who have been born, but there are very few people who can be called clean officials, and most officials will find ways to collect the people's fat and people's ointment after they have power and status, and it is precisely because of this that they reflect the preciousness of Bao Zheng, a clean official, and hope that the state can have more Bao Zheng who does good things for the people, and fewer corrupt officials.
